Artificial Insemination
Does anyone made it successfully?
I'm wondering how breeders from secondary countries to the breed can mate with a good dog, bringing new blood to the country. Travelling is the only option? |

I travelled twice from Vilnius to Prague and Warszaw and both times weren't successful. Having in mind, that my girl's progesterone level changes from 5 to 30 in two days (weeks "growing" till reaches 5, then sudden jump), it is not so easy to be at the male in time. This time she was mated with a male, who came to our home and - tadaaaaam - this time it is a success But it is not so easy to find a male, who will come to your place, so I am really seriously thinking that for her next litter I would like to try AI... I know it is popular and works well with many breeds, why CzW should be an exception? |

I know some breeders who used the IA in their females and was everything ok, they had a nice litter and so on, but what I noticed is that when the breeder turn the IA as preference the quality of the chosen stud fell. I could see several people chosing the stud dog, not because of their bloodline or because how his blood could improve the breed in their country, but because of the fact that the owner accepted to send the semen of his dog for IA. Just remembering here that most of the good stud dogs are not with breeders, but with mere owners who maybe, have no idea about how precious for the breed their dog could be, or who simply does not care for dog breeding, perhaps people who just does not want to have extra work by helping breeders to use their pet dog in breeding.

With IA we could choose THE RIGHT dog. Still, I don't know what it takes... is it expensive? Complicated process? Any breeder here sent semen abroad? |

In some countries is not easy to find a vet able to work with semen properly and you must take this in consideration, if the vet does not make a good work preparing the semen for you, you will expend a lot of money and lose a heat of your female for nothing. A breeder will probably see no problems in do it all to send semen for you, but several times good studs are not in hands of breeders, but of mere owners as pets.

I know in Lithuania the procedure and sending sperm from EU countries might cost about 300 euros. Guess it might be even cheaper in other countries. It is just very important for semen not to be x-rayed on the border But they have special stickers |

What I'm more curious about is: any breeder did it successfully?
All these litters I see between dogs in different (sometimes distant) countries are made live? Usually the male go to the female house? |
